Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
This space is awesome, as is the plan for coffee, fresh fruit, smoothies and, of course, 3-layer cakes and other baked goods. Three Layers has out-Starbucks'ed Starbucks by a wide margin with its urban cool space and cosmopolitan design. Expect a line out the door on Sat a.m. (corner of 6th & Walnut St, 32206 ZIP code).

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
Since this is only three blocks from my house, I plan to be there. Walking to a coffee shop in my own neighborhood, how cool.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
It looks beautiful. Does anyone know, do they make their own baked goods or do they get them from another bakery establishment and if so, do you know the name?

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
They make their own baked goods or at least cakes from what I understand.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
Had a chance to check this out this past Friday. The guys who own this place appear to be doing very well (and after you have some of the desserts, you will understand why).
Not only is this place worth it if you are in the springfield area, it's definitely worth the drive to it if you are not in springfield.
It's at the corner of 6th and Walnut as a reminder.

Will someone kindly call me when they have some strawberry in?
I can confirm that the Italian Creme is my favorite... so far!

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
We had the strawberry last night, tasted just like a fresh picked strawberry dipped in cream! Every time I try something new it becomes my new fav

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
The little coffeeshop that could has begun a tentative entertainment schedule in the evenings to complement their art openings.
What an awesome place.
Now they are beginning a regular poetry reading called Heart Flow Friday, hosted by Simply Candice and featuring multiple spoken word performances.
The show will begin Friday, June20th from 7-9 pm.
Cant wait.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
That's odd. I was there shortly after 4:30 and did not see you. I guess we just missed you.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
Must have. I left shortly after posting. What brings you so regularly to gods green acre, river?

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
I am a big fan of Springfield. Although I do not reside there, I visit frequently and like to support businesses there. I would eventually like to purchase some rental property there also if something attractive becomes available and I am prepared.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
Just dropped into the coolest little place in the city core.
Three Layers naturally. International House of Gossip.
(And Jeff Squares)
Its 1 in the afternoon and there is a tremendously talented guy named Al Poindexter playing guitar and banjo. What an awesome thing to have in the afternoon.
Al says that he has a fiddle playing partner that will be joining him in night time performances.
Love this place.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
I've visted 3 times already and I love there as well. Are there any update on expanded hours? It'd be nice to have something other than a bar/pub open after the sun goes down.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
this guy is really fantastic.
Hes doing bluegrass and folk and his skill is freaking amazing.
What a treat.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
Sean is being masterfully noncommital.
I get the intuition that its an unofficial policy on the weekends.

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
Hello all. My first post, but a frequent reader. I have roots in Jacksonville and also Gainesville, and I'm always encouraged by new economic development in Springfield.
One question, maybe someone has an answer. The property on Main street, I believe its Main/8th....it used to house a furniture store and Bateh's grocery. What's going on with that building. Maybe I'm wrong but it appears to be prime property for someone to develop.
Thanks

Re: Three Layers the latest addition to Springfield
You are correct, they are prime, sadly nothing has been done with them as yet. The furnature Store is very large, and even at $5 a sq foot, its a significant investment. If the owner would make a move to at least get it to raw space, and then give short term favorable rents, it would be a huge boost. The residential side of the community is on cruise control, even with the housing market imploding elsewhere, but Main St seems to be that elusive last item.
SPAR has now partnered with LISC, and along with other community organizations, a sincere effort is being made to encourage development. SRG is currently building 3rd and Main for the Cesarys, and I know that efforts are being made to get quality tenants in there once it opens next summer.
7th and Main should be developed in the next year or so, and hopefully will bring enough interest to Main to kick some of the other owners into high grear (or really any gear at all)
Cross your fingers. This next year or so should be a good one for the progress on Main.
